Analysis of Fear Not



Let not the clouds of fear soar over you,
some troubled moments last just a shot time.
Then darkened seasons change to powder blue,
though endless mountains may be hard to climb.

Each corner that we turn a lesson's taught,
yet all the streets we cross still takes us home;
bringing the peace of mind that we had sought.
So never more will we have cause to roam.

Let memories remain within your heart,
as they are what all goodness does intend.
May those you've loved forever be a part,
don't let hard times become your greatest friend.

The brightest lights can help you meet each day,
While darkened clouds will always float away.
